C Standard left-handed scale chart

G Minor Pentatonic Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart

Minor Pentatonic scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in C Standard.

G Minor Pentatonic in C Standard tuning gives you the notes G, A#, C, D, F across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. C Standard lowers the whole guitar while keeping interval relationships intact, which is useful for heavy left-handed players who still want logical mirrored charts. The mirrored chart makes box one feel natural to a left-handed eye, which matters because this is often the first scale lefty players learn.

Charts are mirrored for left-handed players. Standard tablature below stays unchanged because tab does not flip with handedness.

Context

How To Use This Page

Overview

Minor Pentatonic feels direct, punchy and riff-friendly and is useful for blues-rock solos, familiar lead guitar and stubborn riff writing.

Lefty Translation

When a right-handed teacher says start on the sixth string, go to the far-right string in this chart and keep the tab as your note-order reference.

Practice Cue

Anchor the root and b7, then bring in bends around the b3 for feel instead of speed alone

Tuning Context

C Standard feels low, thick and heavy without dropping interval logic. It keeps the same shape logic while delivering a heavier voice.
